Eurozone manufacturing PMI advances in November
Stocks across Europe were shoved lower Friday, with broad-based
losses set in motion after U.S. lawmakers had trouble passing a
long-awaited tax bill, leaving the regional equity market on course
to drop on a weekly basis.
What markets are doing: The Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.5% to
384.74. No sector showed gains after the oil and gas and health
care sectors turned lower. Tech, financial and industrial shares
were losing the most. On Thursday, the regional gauge shed 0.3%

and closed November's trade down 2.2%.
The Stoxx 600 was looking at a weekly loss of 0.7%, which would
mark its third weekly decline in four.
Germany's DAX 30 index slumped 1.2% to 12,866.44, and France's
CAC 40 gave up 1.1% at 5,311.28. The indexes were on course for
weekly losses of 1.5% each.
Spain's IBEX 35 fell 0.6% to 10,154.20 and Italy's FTSE MIB sank
1.2% to 22,096.34. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 fell 0.3% to 7,301.49.
What's moving markets: European equities fell alongside U.S.
stock futures , which were losing ground after the U.S. Senate late
Thursday suspended a vote on a tax bill as lawmakers continued to
debate a number issues related to cutting rates for individuals and
corporations.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Financial Services Index fell 1.2% and the
Stoxx Europe 600 Bank Index declined 0.7%. Financial stocks were
among those shaken by the tax-reform delay in Washington, with
investors running to the perceived safety of sovereign bonds that
sent their yields lower. The yield on Germany's 10-year bund fell 4
basis points to 0.327%
The crucial vote in the Senate on tax reform was expected to
resume on Friday.
Ahead of the vote, the euro traded at $1.1904, on par with late
Thursday's level in New York, and coming off an intraday high of
$1.1942 on Friday.
What strategists are saying: "The dollar's short-term price
action depends on how quickly the bill goes through the Senate but
investors remain skeptical: they know that even if the bill clears
the Senate it will still take time to be formally made into law and
this weighs down on dollar's outlook so patience is advised," said
Konstantinos Anthis, a research at ADS Securities, in a note.
Stock movers: Altice NV (ATC.AE) rose 1.7% as the French
telecoms group said it plans to sell its Switzerland-based

data-center operations and telecommunications solutions business to
InfraVia Capital Partners.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS.LN) fell 1.5% after the
company said it will close 259 branches and cut 680 jobs
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/rbs-cutting-680-jobs-in-the-uk-as-mobile-banking-picks-up-2017-12-01)
to reduce costs as more customers having been using mobile and
online services.
Air France-KLM shares (AF.FR) were down 0.5% even as the
airline's stock was upgraded to hold from sell at Deutsche
Bank.
Economic data: IHS Markit said its final November manufacturing
PMI reading for the eurozone came in at 60.1, up from October's
print of 58.5 and marking its best reading since April 2000.
IHS Markit/CIPS said its U.K. manufacturing PMI for November was
58.2
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/uk-manufacturing-pmi-picks-up-in-november-2017-12-01),
and that was better than the FactSet estimate of 56.5.
